You have to do all the paperwork as if you were enlisting for first time again. And even though you have to do the MEPS process, they should put you in front of everyone else so they can get you out faster..as it's less work for them as well.

Did they send a cleverly written letter about how IRRs were being deployed by the minute and your only way out was to contact them?

I really wish I saved this one a Reserve Recruiter sent me a few years ago. It was a goody.

Oh I got one of those too when I was IRR. Came from the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps urgently requesting that I reconsider enlisting the Marines and how my country needs me now more than ever (funny, I never got recalled after 9/11 like a few of my buddies did).
